Stout braised beef and short rib sandwich $8. super awesome!
Kari C.

Tried their Stout Braised Beef and Short Rib Sandwich for $8 at the Eat Real Festival. Wow, it was a lot better than we expected! The meat was extremely tender and moist, dripping with savory juices. We wanted to lick the plate. The marinade hit the perfect combo of sweet and salty. No funkiness that can sometimes happen when braising with alcohol. Even the bun, soft with a little bit of chewiness, played well with the flavors. These folks sure can cook! I hope they expand to the East Bay soon.

REVIEWER # 1 I LOVE LUNCH POP-UPS && MINNE BELL'S IS THE NEW POP-UP IN TOWN! Welcome Minnie Bells, a lunch pop up that replaces Bon Marche. I found out Bon Marche is officially closed and will start doing pop ups to see how business works. Minnie Bell's has started serving their food start the week of September 19th and they are open during the lunch time from 11AM-2PM Monday-Wednesday. They have a little sign outside the Bon March building that states the food that they offer. During the time I went their menu was limited to s couple items. Just to name a few: *Minnie Bell's Famous Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich-$11 *Pop's Smothered Tri-Tip Sandwich-$13 *New Style Vegan Sandwich- $9 They do offer sides such as: Potatoes Salad, Picked Fillmore Farmers Market Veggies, or Salad. Not interested in Sandwiches for lunch? No worries! Minnie Bells offer delicious salads! There are two on the menu: -Southern Style Grain Salad for $9 or Big Old Green Salad for $10. They also offer a Stew of the Day! The actual day that I walked in they were offering Bells Chicken and Black Pea Stew. I may be mistaken but I am sure the stew routes maybe every week or day. Make sure you check in what the stew of the day is. Now how would I grade the pop-up? CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5/5 Well customer service was great! Mark took our order and was very friendly! I was asking questions about the hopes of Minnie Bells possibly being located in the Market and he informed me that the owners are working on possibly getting a location in the Fillmore area since that is where they are from so it makes sense for them to own a business in the very area that they grew up at and they are from. ACTUALLY WAITING PERIOD: 5/5 Since the pop-up is located in Bon Marche, there was plenty of seating. I ordered my food to go however they do offer seating inside the restaurant for you to enjoy your food. The actually waiting time took less than five minutes for the food to arrive. FOOD:3/5 I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich with a side of potato salad. I personally feel that Salad should be automatically given and then patrons should have the options of potatoes salad or pickled veggies. If I could be honest, I didn't like the potato salad. The taste, the texture of the food, everything about it was just not pleasant. After one bite of it I realized that I should have stuck with getting a salad. The Fried Chicken sandwich was delicious though! It was a thick piece of buttermilk, hot sauce rosemary fried chicken with marinated cabbage slaw in it! Either it was so filling or I wasn't that hungry because I didn't end up eating my whole sandwich just a half of it. I would definitely recommend ordering the fried chicken but pass on the potato salad and just order a salad or veggies (you can never go wrong with that). I am routing for you Minnie Bells! I am hoping that you finally get a restaurant in the Fillmore so I can get a better idea of what else you serve! REVIEW 139/196

Fried chicken sandwich $11... Very good!! A lite kick, chicken is moist, golden fried crisp. Mmmmmmm
Stephen Y.

Serendipitous moment... one of those rare occasions that I venture into The Market in the Twitter building. Started to wait in the poke bowl line before realizing it'll be an hour before getting my food. Walked around the market looking for "something". Nothing struck my fancy. Walked out and headed north on Market Street. Noticed the Bon Marche sign and the open door. The interior intrigued me and the small A-sign propping the door open listed "Fried Chicken Sandwich". Who could resist?!?! I'm very glad I walked in. On that serendipitous day I met my soul mate... her name was fried chicken sandwich! And I devoured her with passion! Minnie Bell's is now hosting their pop-up on Monday thru Wednesday 11a-2p in the old Bon Marche location. Limited menu, but that's the beauty of it. They can focus on making the best ____. I think this strategy should be adopted by all new restaurants. Why waste time on something you're not good at. Sell the winners and dump the losers!

I ended up…read moreabandoning my plans when I smelled the rotisserie chickens even though there was a long line because when you see a long line and a bunch of happy customers walking away with their food. It's gotta be worth it. I waited in line for probably 20 minutes. While I was in line, I was watching the staff, prepare their most popular item which was the porchetta sandwich. I was getting hungrier watching them make each sandwich. Luckily once I ordered and paid, they immediately hand you one that's already made so you don't have to wait. I normally don't buy lunch when I'm in the office. I usually do meal preps, but now, I check their calendar to see if they're going to be at the Ferry Building so I can pick up a sandwich for lunch. That's how much I like them. And even pitching the idea of getting catering from them for our next work gathering. Since this is a food truck, there's not much to comment about regarding the location. The ferry building has chairs and tables where you can sit and eat, but this is more of a grab and go lunch.

Seeing this popular food truck on social media and wanted to see if the hype was real. You'll find…read moreseating along the ferry building to have your meal. Expect to wait in line for chicken and the porchetta sandwich during lunch hours. WHOLE ROLIROTI GOURMET ROTISSERIE CHICKEN ~ dark meat was good while the white meat was dry. They need some kind of dipping sauce or something for it. Seasoning was not evenly spread out so some parts were saltier on the skin. Lots of herbs like thyme and rosemary. Just too bad the meat didn't stay juicy. 3.5/5 ROTISSERIE PORCHETTA SANDWICH ~ skin was crispy and burnt, so it was bitter yet crunchy. Pork was tender, but I didn't taste much of the jam. I did not like the bitter burnt skin. I personally thought it threw the flavor off. If it wasn't bitter, it would have scored higher. I always enjoy bread toasted when having a sandwich. Sadly, they don't toast it. My friend loves this sandwich and told me the skin wasn't supposed to be crunchy and burnt! So I'm assuming this wasn't typical. 3/5 The 4 of us shared the whole chicken and split the porchetta sandwich. But hearing that the sandwich wasn't made correctly this time around, I'm compelled to give it another try in the future.

I love their food--the Kebapche. Delicious! Bittersweet because they just announced on IG that they are ceasing their food truck operation. However, it looks like they are doing private catering, etc. Excited to see what's to come. Good luck to them.

This was one of the food trucks at the Sunday Presidio Pop Up on the Main Parade Lawn (across from…read moreThe Walt Disney Family Museum). When I came here with my friends last time, I remember having a good experience so decided to pay them another visit. Their menu looked smaller with different items this time around. I saw a lot of people ordering the Yogurt Marinated Chicken ($17.00 + tax), so I decided to order that. +Even though the grilled Mary's Chicken looked dry, it was moist and juicy. Never thought of yogurt as a marinade, but hey it works! +Organic spring mix salad was fresh and lightly dressed w/vinaigrette. +Lutenitsa, a Bulgarian spread made with roasted red peppers and other veggies, was flavorful and not spicy. -Chicken was burnt in a lot of parts: Seems like it was left too long on the grill -Herb polenta cake was soft, but bland. Other items I tried during my last visit: +Black Sea Fisherman's Stew +Baklava Side notes: 1.) Check the Presidio's website for their schedule: https://presidio.gov/explore/park-attractions/presidio-pop-up-schedule 2.) Enjoy your meal on the picnic tables or lawn. 3.) Paid parking lots: Bring coins b/c there's a surcharge for credit cards. *Verdict: If the chicken wasn't burnt, it would have been a winner winner chicken dinner.

TWICE AT GOLDEN GATE PARK…read more In the past 11 months I've been to two exhibitions at De Young Museum. After the exhibitions instead of eating at the cafe in the museum I would look at food trucks at Golden Gate Park. After those two exhibitions I've ordered food from this food truck. The first time I came to Cochinita was in September after the exhibition featuring photos taken by Paul McCartney during the rise of The Beatles. The item that stood out from the truck was the elote tots. They were Mexican-style corn kernels top over tater tots. I am a sucker for tater tots. With sour cream and sauce I was worried if the tater tots would be soggy. The tater tots were still crispy. The complimenting textures of corn and tater tots made this a satisfying dish. The second time I came to the food truck at Golden Gate Park was the last day of exhibition "Monet and Venice." I was hoping to see if the elote tater tots were available; they weren't. I scanned up and down the items available listed on the food truck. One item that intrigued me was the tradicional - a plate with two types of fried tortilla. The panucho is regular fried while the salbut is fried with a puffy appearance. I love fried food, but these two tortillas weren't oily. These two kinds of tortilla fried dishes provided different textures to the toppings. I never ate Yucatan food before ordering food at Cochinita. If you are tasting a new cuisine you never had before ordering from a restaurant versus a food truck is different. Whereas in a restaurant while sitting you ask for recommendation whereas at a food truck while you're standing you go with your gut feeling. From my two experiences at the Cochinita food truck I ordered items I never had before and I enjoyed both of them. If I go to the Chochinita food truck at Golden Gate Park again and see elote tots, panucho, and salbut what will I order next time? I'm going to order an item I never had before.

With a beach day and a hike ahead, my friend suggested we grab lunch beforehand. She found Leo's…read moreTacos through a quick search. We chose it based on the location and popularity. We arrived on a weekend afternoon. I didn't realize this spot was from LA and how popular it was! The taco truck is bright orange and easy to find. Lines can get long, but they go by relatively fast. Service wasn't the friendliest, interaction-wise, but the good came out in a reasonable time, considering the line and it being made to order. There are a couple of standing tables, which we ate at with our dogs. Most folks took their food to go. So I didn't realize they were known for their Al Pastor, which I ended up getting. I got one Al Pastor and one Carnitas Taco. The meat is marinated and off a spit. It had a nice flavor, and I'd get both again. When you receive your tacos, they ask if you want toppings and salsa. It's nice in the sense that you can build it to your liking. All the salsas are good; my friend and I enjoyed the avocado one the best. Along with tacos, they have other food and drink items. I got the delicious Horchata. The only thing is prices weren't actively posted, so keep that in mind. I'm not too familiar with the Mexican food truck scene in the city. For the price and what we wanted, Leo's Tacos was a good option. Find them off the Great Highway with residential parking and a lot as well.

For the price, it's reasonable since the average taco price nowadays is at $3.50-$4 per. Steak 3.8/5 Not bad but it is a little tough to chew. Wish there was a little but more seasoning on it. Al Pastor 4.5/5 The best one and probably the only meat I'll get from here because it was really good. Pastor was super tender and flavorful. The pineapple obviously the cherry on top. Carnitas 4/5 Crispy and flavorful. Definitely my second favorite! Suadero 2.5/5 I wasn't a big fan because the meat was very touch and chewy. Not enough flavor or seasoning. Taste mostly cooking oil. Jamaica 4/5 Tasty and sweet. Definitely helped with my digestion lol Other than that, this would be my go to when I'm in the area. Give this spot a try and I highly recommend their al pastor and carnitas!
